Either in the form of thematic clusters or pairs, Isidorean encyclopedic patterns are observed not only in major Latin riddle collections in verse but can also be detected in the two vernacular assemblages contained in the Exeter Book. As with encyclopedias, the topic-centered arrangement of riddles was pursued by compilers as a strategy intended to optimize the didactic and instructional possibilities inherent in these texts and favor the readers' assimilation of their contents. This book thus provides a thoroughgoing investigation of medieval riddling, with special attention to the Exeter Book Riddles, demonstrating that this genre constituted an important part of the school curriculum of the early Middle Ages."-- $c Publisher's website. 505 0 $a Early medieval riddling and Isidore's etymologiae -- Isidore's etymologiae and the compilation of early medieval Latin riddle collection -- The compilation of the Exeter book riddles. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Riddles, English (Old) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English poetry $y Old English, ca. 450-1100 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Riddles, Latin $x History and criticism. 600 00 $a Isidore, $c of Seville, Saint, $d -636. $t Etymologiae. 630 00 $a Exeter book. 600 04 $a Isidorus, $c Hispalensis, $d approximately 560-636. 600 04 $a Symphosius, $d 4-5e E.? 600 04 $a Aldhelmus, $c Scireburnensis, $d approximately 640-709. 600 04 $a Tatuinus, $d approximately 670-734. 600 14 $a Hwaetberht, $d approximately 680-748. 630 07 $a Etymologiae (Isidore, of Seville, Saint) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01359998 630 07 $a Exeter book. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01357628 650 7 $a English poetry $x Old English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710965 650 7 $a Riddles, English (Old) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01097632 650 7 $a Riddles, Latin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01097672 648 7 $a 450 - 1100 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Medieval European studies ; $v 17. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022956.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161202021951.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F4E9FE84ECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
